| Broken Bells – Your Head Is on Fire Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I heard a lot of changes after dozens of repeat listens. "Caymal" meaning like the Cayman Islands, is one lyric I'm not sure of. But if it's right,it just adds to the brilliance of this song. I believe the song is about our naively going through life accepting the good things and ignoring the evil. However, all of a sudden the evil will strike (40 paces, like a gun fight). Run and hide your head's on fire Whirling masses, rolling ashes Caymal morning, grey earth dawning Life in stasis, forty paces, Run and hide your head's on fire Whirling masses, rolling ashes Caymal morning, grey earth dawning Life in stasis, forty paces, To turn away from the night Allowing the light alone Is surely fooling yourself Leaving half on a shelf You'll never know How low an angry heart can go (run and hide, your head’s on fire) Soon, hold on to certain hands returnin’ (run and hide, your head’s on fire) Run and hide your head's on fire Whirling masses, rolling ashes Caymal morning, grey earth dawning Life in stasis, forty paces, Does anybody else here feel that fear? When none of all these good things had to be, Or is it just me? |
